So the right leaning pundits and some in the tea party are threatening that they will force the republicans out in the House in 2014 if they don't somehow (with only 1/3 of the legislative power???) make deep cuts in spending... how stupid are these people??? do they think the Democrats will reduce spending AT ALL?
I agree I think spending should be cut, but let's be real here... the House has no more power in Washington that the Republican members of the CA legislation... they can't even be spoilers because of the way Washington works... the spending is institutional. It cannot be cut in real terms, the rate of increase can only be reduced and that takes all 3 branches. If all 3 branches don't agree, the PRIOR budgets keep rolling along... what was the last budget? 2009 when the Democrats had all 3 branches and increased spending from a deficit of about $500 billion to $1.4 trillion.
The only reason its down to $1.2 trillion is more taxes.
Come on Right Side... get your heads out of your behinds and THINK!
